There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

First of all, let me start by saying that with the exception of the 5 part mini-series that started each season, I was never really a fan of the cartoon because i grew up reading about real life terrorism in the papers and in the news and I also read the comics. in the comics, they killed off a whole bunch of joes and cobras in a one year span where in the cartoon, no one suffered so much as a hangnail. I thought it was so lame!That being said, when I tuned in to the first airing of resolute, i could not believe that 2 major characters were killed off in the first 3 min. I knew then this is the version I dreamed of seeing as a kid.My favorite change: Cobra Commander! In the comics he was sneaky and evil, yet when he showed even the slightest bit of compassion even toward his son, he nearly paid for it with his life. it taught him a valuable lesson in the series and he came back more ruthless than ever.This version is just about the same in which he clearly stated if u help him conquer the world, the reward will be unlimited wealth.......oppose him or question his ruthlessness and YOU DIE!I give this a 9 out of 10 because it just was not long enough. This (not g.i.joe renegades) should be made into a series. I love it!

"G.I. Joe", is one of the greatest franchises ever made. Next to, "Thundercats" and "Transformers". In 2009, Adult Swim did an anime eleven-part miniseries about G.I. Joe.Like the T.V. series, It's pretty much where the Joe's fight Cobra and saving the world from evil."Resolute", is a great anime miniseries that has nice animation and some good fight scene's. I also like how they made Cobra Commander evil. In the show, whenever he tries to kill someone, his plans are foiled. In, "Resolute", he actually destroy's a city. It also has some nice voice acting from Steve Blum.The only problem's I have is that each episode is about five to nine minutes long and there was not that much development for the other character's. I also wish it was a T.V. series instead of a miniseries."G.I. Joe: Resolute", is a nice anime take on the classic series and it's worth watching for fans of the series or someone looking for a good short show to watch.

I was reluctant at first to watch this show as I thought it was going to be purely Snake Eyes oriented while everybody else paled in comparison. After reading some of the comments (which were useful by the way), I decided to give it a try, and was very impressed as a fair bunch of the Joes had a part to play.While some may have commented about the level of violence involved, do keep in mind that this is geared toward a mature audience. I used to watch GiJoe as a kid, and had no problem with nobody dying because again, it was for a younger audience. However, years have passed, and based on the show's targeted audience, I say it got my vote as the best revamp of GiJoe since the Sunbow version.Battle scenes (A) - Animation (A) - Plot (A) - Length (B) It is my hope that this becomes a regular series as it would be great. And if it does, then there should be more involvement from the remaining Joes. My congratulations to the forces in play which made this possible.

At almost 36 yrs old, I grew up with GI Joe. Whether in comic, cartoon, or toy form, it was a part of my life. I always did like the cartoon, but this is a great new take on the series. As a fan of animation such as the kind on display in films like Blood +, parts of the Animatrix, some of Adult Swim's line-up, and both versions of the animated Star Wars Clone Wars, I think GIJ:R fits into this universe nicely. You really have to see this for yourself. Just watch it. I'll simply say that there are characters offed in this and while that is a minor spoiler, the way said characters are dispatched works well and in some cases leaves you to wonder what if... I can only hope that the film is half as fun as this. GI Joe as a team is as strong-willed as say the OSI from the Venture Brothers, but there is a sense of technological advancement and pseudo-realism here that makes the team's movements somewhat believable. Cobra seems to be an army as before, but I like that in these mostly 5 minute vignettes when a Cobra "leader" is in it you get a keen sense of how they operate. Finally, the vs. part as in Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes has a really great back story and modern confrontation. Seeing what has been done by Warren Ellis with Snake Eyes makes me long to see what Ray Park does with the character in the film. So...to sum up, there is an hour in 11 parts here. Moves along very well. To me, this may be my favorite short animation story since Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars: fast, full, and fun. Enjoy!
